Installing the adapter
This section explains how to install the adapter. If you are installing the operating system at this time,
install the adapter before you install the operating system. If the operating system is already installed and
you must install the device driver for this adapter, install the device driver software before you install the
adapter.
Attention: Before installing an adapter, review the precautions in Safety notices and Handling static
sensitive devices. Do not remove the adapter from its anti-static package until you are ready to place it in
the system unit.
To install the adapter, follow these steps:
1. Determine the PCIe slot in which to place the adapter.
The adapter has an x4 PCIe connector and can be placed in a x4, x8, or x16 slot. See the PCI adapter
placement for information about the PCIe slots on your system unit.
2. Install the adapter by using the instructions in the system unit service guide.
Connecting to an Ethernet network
Refer to your local procedures for information about connecting the adapter to your Ethernet network.
Notes:
v Only one type of network can be attached to the adapter at one time.
v If your switch has an SC receptacle, you need an LC-SC converter cable.
v You must configure an IP network interface to enable the adapter to detect the link and illuminate the
link LED.
